I am watching inglorious basterds on cable, why do the Germans salute like the Brits. and Americans? Didn't they extend their arms straight out? Isn't there some law in Germany that prohibits the old nazi salute?

Dude it's a movie, it's Hollywood, (I think), there will be errors. Trust me you'll drive yourself nuts if you try to figure out why all the innacuracies are there. I do that with war movies and end up driving myself nuts. Ever seen the remake of Dawn of the Dead? I didn't even know the names of all the main characters at the end because I spent more time tearing apart their portrayal of the U.S. Army.

Sorry I meant to say Day of the Dead. The other night my wife and I watched Kick-Ass and she kept going on about how unrealistic the little girl was. ITS A FREAKIN MOVIE! THERES A LAUNDRY LIST OF INNACURACIES IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET INTO IT! lol

Had to agree that the inglorious [censored] movie is riddled with historical inaccuracies. Definitely not the kind of movie to see for history lessons. Aside from that nobody ever seem to run out of ammo in this movie.

"I know what you're thinkin'... Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I have kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you 'got to ask yourself one question: do I feel lucky? Well... Do you, punk?"

Can you imagine ho awesome it would be if they restricted fictional heroes to realistic limitation!?

I can see it now:

Die not very Hard at all : John McClane gets bare feet full of glass shards, hobbles slowly across room, gets gunned down dead. Terrorists win. The end.

The Terminator: Time travel being a hypothetical concept beyond our understanding, Sarah Connor lives out an unremarkable life as a waitress. The End.

The Matrix: Having been shown that the world he believes reality is infact a simulation, Neo suffers a disassociative breakdown, spends 20 minutes hugging his knees rocking in a corner of the room, then promptly grabs a steak knife and takes out his femoral artery to escape the torment. The end.

First Blood: Having escaped the police station, John Rambo jumps a motorbike into a fallow field. The front wheel hits a rabbit hole, he gets thrown off the bike, breaks his leg, and gets recaptured at gunpoint. The end.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Indy jumps from the temple to escape the stone ball. He lands badly, rupturing neck muscles and snapping the ligaments on his left ankle. lying there helpless, Beloch takes the statue and orders the tribe to stick Indy's helpless body full of poison darts. He dies. The end.
